Hi i tried adding another computer to the tunnel broker, like I added the endpoint, then chose a different address than the other computer, but once i did that, the other computer stopped working with ipv6, i'm 100 percent positive it was a different ipv6 address too, is there a way to do it or anyhting special i have to do? i was using two different address's from the /64 "::2 and ::4" thanks!!!  8) ;D

Please provide details, like commands used etc

You mean like, you logged into tunnelbroker.net and changed your ipv4 endpoint to something different than the first working computer?

i definately worded that wrong, i did the normal xp commands, but on a 2nd pc off my router, and it worked but the first  stopped working :(

i made sure it was a different ipv6 address too

i didnt do any special commands, just ipv6 install, and i copy and pasted the rest of the script and it worked, but then the first computer stopped working, any special reason why, or any insight?!?! thank ya :) :)

the old computer works fine, but now this computer does that?

#5
The tunnel should only be turned up on a single machine.
Then that machine should provide addresses out of the ROUTED /64 allocation.
Those routed allocations are statically routed through the ::2 of the client's side of the /64 point-to-point allocation.
After doing that, your other machines on the LAN should auto-configure addresses.

How one sets up MS Windows to do that, I've no idea. Traditionally I use Linux or BSD machines for that role.

Setting up XP to work as a router can be done.  I ran one of my XP boxes like that for a while and, although it works, there are some problems with that configuration.  For example, I was never able to successfully run a firewall on that box.  Later, I was lucky enough to find a good deal on an old Cisco router and happily abandoned that idea.  If you for some reason have to go that route, I can try to put together some notes on how I had mine set up.  But I think you'd be happier with another option in the end.
